So, I am going to be, in the very near future, writing an extensive post on the ray of sparkling sunshine that is Lindsay Docherty of Lindsay Docherty Photography. I will share with you, then, how she jumped on the bed with us, and joined us in an impromptu dance party and even cleaned up ...

A (partial) Day in the Life of a Mother With Two Young Children and Postpartum Depression
4:40 am wake up because I think I hear a noise outside. I go down to investigate. Twice. The mystery remains unsolved. 6:15 wake up to the sound of my daughter's voice. She had previously been instructed to play in her room upon waking until we come to get her (since the past few days have been ...
A tiny, little, amazing story.
Today, as I unloaded from school pick up, doing my normal routine of getting my daughter out of the passenger side of the car, slinging her backpack over my shoulder, walking her around the car to my side where I get her brother out in his incredibly heavy infant carrier, when my daughter said, "Wait. I want to see ...
Bedtime. A Haiku.
Four of us snug-gled in bed; kids trading giggles. What life is about.
Ahhh motherhood.
Another 5:30 wakeup from my girl. To be exact it was 5:35, when I heard her calling from her room, beckoning me to snuggle with her. I figured we'd go back to sleep together. But her eyes remained open, fixed on me, until 5:50, when she popped out of bed, looked out her window and shouted, "Mommy! It's light ...

That may be a bit hyperbolic, but I was definitely feeling low; I got an unexpected putdown that kind of knocked the wind ...
Between Friends
I have to admit something; I was never much of a coffee drinker... until motherhood. I was a total tea gal, and I kind of had some sort of weird pride in that title. "Oh no, I only drink tea." Gave me some hipster street cred (in my head). I always loved the smell, but I'd happily sip on ...
“MOMMY!”
my daughter exclaimed, after I picked her up from school, headed out to my favorite store. "I have a horrible story to tell you," she continued. "So many things are making me in a grumpy mood. My brother lied to me. He really DID spit up on my sock. And I went on the blog and they ...
I guess I named her well.
Last night my daughter decided to dress as the Disney Princess for whom she was named... wearing an old Halloween costume... from when she was six months old. Now, my daughter is amazing; she is an old soul, so precocious and astute; But man, is she stubborn. And insists on method acting. So if she is playing Peter Pan, I ...
I think I’ve made great strides
in the sandwich department; I know I need not tell you, as it is abundantly clear that this is a ghost cream cheese sandwich with Nutella eyes. And I also know that I am an amazing artist.
